About this Unit
In 2009 this unit replaced by 101512 - Cultural Diversity, Society and Learning (AREP). The Bachelor of Education (Primary) has within its philosophy, a commitment to cultural diversity. Our student body, the community in which the university is located, the schools we serve and the profile of greater Western Sydney are marked by cultural diversity. Using sociological and cultural theory, the unit examines conservative, liberal and radical approaches to cultural diversity in education. This cultural diversity includes dimensions of gender, religion, ethnicity, 'race', language and sexuality. The unit develops cultural literacy through applying Marxist and feminist-poststructuralist analyses of these social relations to cyberspace.
